God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Preparing the battle arena didn't take long because there was an open field not far from the stone foundation.

Their entire discussion was postponed because of the battle, which Jason found a little bit useless, but he simply accepted the fact.

If he were to decide what was going to happen, he would have finished the important points that had to be talked about first before moving to the other things that were less important.

However, from the Mewi race's point of view, deciding who was to become the Vice Grand tribe chief was probably more important than anything else.

As such, Jason simply accepted whatever they wanted to do.

Facing the tribe chief who was standing at a distance of a few hundred meters away from him Jason could easily determine that the tribe chief's entire being was shaking in anger.

This was not something that should be the case, but owing to the fact that Mewi were an oddly compressed mass of mana, with specific organs that made use of their mana body in order to strengthen them, they oddly resembled humans.

Thus, being enraged made the Mewi tribe chief's entire body vibrate, and Jason felt exhilarated to fight again.

However, he had to keep in mind the tips provided by the former tribe chief if he didn't want to end this quickly.

In the end, Jason was acting, however, he pleased because he knew that the provoked tribe chief was not as strong as Brell's master.

With that in mind, everything seemed to be much easier than he first expected, and Jason was able to keep his calm, while his body language showed that he was unbothered by his opponent.

Seeing his casual attitude was making the tribe chief in front of him seethe in anger as he slowly began to lose his rationality.

Jason had hoped this would happen, but he didn't believe that the tribe chief would fall for his trick so easily.

It clearly showed Jason that Brell's master knew much more about the other tribe chiefs than he had first expected. Furthermore, the other information he had received was probably several times more valuable than he initially thought.

Upon realizing this, he decided to thank the former tribe chief later, after the fight was over.

His train of thoughts averted to other things than the tribe chief in front of him, and Jason only worsened the anger within the tribe chief. Furious that the youth was treating him like a pushover, he was determined to teach him a lesson, and even the other tribe chiefs were slowly starting to get annoyed at Jason's attitude.

Meanwhile, Brell was averting his gaze from Jason to his master, only to mumble.

"Master, did you tell him to act like that? Can't he defeat Karet without the provocations, or is there a more profound reason why Jason is doing so? Please enlighten me, master!"

Brell asked his master in a formal tone as he was supposed to, yet, his overly polite attitude caused the tribe chiefs that were standing next to the master-disciple duo to look at them in confusion.

Even though Brell's extreme behavior intrigued and confused them, they didn't ask anything, and after looking at them for a few moments they reverted their attention back to the fight. It was just about to begin, and they quickly lost interest in Brell and his master's conversation.

"He is just testing the waters to see how much pressure Karet can handle once he is enraged. You might not believe it yet, but I do think that Jason's concerns about the Oceanfolk are correct. When they appeared first, the surrounding mana started to deteriorate.

Yet, only months after Jason appeared, everything was fixed… Do you think that was the doing of our gods, or someone else?

There might be a different reason for this youngster to help us, other than his generosity and possible mindset of a Samaritan, but everything he did until now has helped us, for which we should be truly grateful.

With that in mind…try to think…why would Jason warn us about the attack of an army of the Oceanfolk, what kind of reason could that have after everything he did?"

Even though he knew that he could say much more in order to explain the situation to his student in a proper manner, that was not something the former tribe chief wanted to do.

Instead, Brell should learn to put two and two together and use his head more often.

This was the biggest issue of his student- he had all muscle power but lacked in making good use of his brain.

He was a natural fighter, with tremendous potential to become a powerhouse their race had never seen before, but in order to achieve this, Brell had to condition his brain and learn to think rationally.

To his master, sometimes it felt like he was fighting with energy save mode activated, preventing him from fighting properly or using his mind to come up with a tactic.

Because of that, Jason, who was overthinking everything, was the perfect opposite.

He may think too much, but once he entered a fight, Jason became a monstrous existence comparable if not even more frightening than Brell.

Thus, he wanted his disciple to see what happened when one used their brain to outwit their opponent even before the fight would start.

As the two combatants stood opposite each other, Jason was eerily calm. His will to fight was leaking through his Celestia aura that flickered wildly, in stark contrast to his unruffled demeanor.

Meanwhile, the tribe chief he was fighting could barely control himself, clenching his fists in an attempt to hold himself back from rushing towards Jason to beat him into a pulp right off the bat.

Having to wait for just one more second was already unbearable for him, and Brell, who noticed this kind of impatience, realised that the tribe chief was bound to make a dumb mistake.

Brell was impatient himself, but he was able to stay rational in face of unknown opponents.

And Jason was not just unknown, but his calmness, mana fluctuations, and aura were plenty of red flags to indicate that he was not to be taken lightly.

Because of that, Brell could only shake his head, when he saw how Karet didn't hesitate a single second as he rushed towards Jason like a mad bull.

The only thing Karet could barely pay attention to was Jason's warning about being frozen.

Somehow, that odd piece of advice was stuck in his mind, and Karet awaited a strong attack utilizing Jason's ice affinity.

Yet, instead of staying true to his earlier words about freezing his opponent, Jason decided to do something completely different.

Following that, his pupils turned into reptilian slits, a second Stigma manifested over his first one, illuminating in a faint golden light.

Having planned out the entire fight, he fused with Petri instead of Artemis in order to enhance the petrification- and race specific weakening curse.

By fusing with Petri, the curses' lethality increased by more than half which was exceptional and the reason for Jason to execute the plan he had set up earlier.

Other than the reptile eyes, the second stigma and the fact that his aura was slowly turning into something extremely ferocious, something that executed the unbreakable will to defeat everyone obstructing his path, as well as the pressure of a king, the king of Serpents, nothing seemed to have changed.

However, that was already more than enough to make every single tribe chief who spectated the battle understand that Jason was doing something different than he had first announced!

Despite that, the person who should be the most concerned about the fact that Jason had all of them wrapped around his little finger, didn't notice that anything was off.

Instead, the enraged tribe chief was still charging towards Jason, barely noticing that anything was off owing to the deep sense of anger and his wildly fluctuating mana that made him abandon common sense.

At that moment, everyone realized that Jason had planned everything beforehand, which caused Brell to stare at the scene that unfolded in front of him in shock.

Yet, what happened just a moment later caused even Brell's master to stare at the battlefield in doubt.

"He was able to do that all along?"
